Yep. I am still in The Void. But while I existententially explore, I have also decided to at least deal with the technology issue a bit. I went and got myself a cheep computer, and now I can actually do things with my pictures … and maybe even write regularly. In the mean time, while […]
How do legends become legends? What makes deeds great enough that they need to be shared across the land? Is it the actions that make the hero? Or is being a character of legend something we are born with? I suppose it pays to have a good advertising team. It’s all about spin. I would […]
The 13 stages of enlightenment by nostril habitation: Surprise: Oy! A bug just flew up my right nostril! Amusement: Ha! Another bug just flew up right nostril. Ridicule: These are really dumb bugs. Curiosity: What is so special about my right nostril anyway? Fear: What is WRONG with my right nostril? Denial: There is no […]

[mapsmarker marker=”43″] Day: 16 (ish) Trail miles: 86.3 These tidbits apply to any situation where there is a heartbeat: Most importantly … hike your own hike!! One step at a time. Don’t look too far forward. It can provide hope, but might cause despair as well. Be aware of where you are. Take the time […]
